

“Our group (20 in total) consisting of youth cyclists and parents which were attending the Youth National Championships in Enniscorthy in august of this year. We arrived to a the warmest of welcomes from Dorothy (our landlady), homemade brown bread and scones. Dorothy showed us around her amazing house with 9 spacious bedrooms, all en-suite!!! and was on-hand for advise and any assistance if and when we needed. Set in a lovely location with beautiful gardens we had a fantastic weekend. I would highly recommend Boolavogue House to groups and families for week long or weekend lets.”

Customer reviews

“We were warmly welcomed by the owner on arrival and presented with a coffee cake, a loaf of soda bread and enough tea and coffee to get us started. Throughout the stay she was very helpful and looked after all of our needs. If we are to travel to Wexford in the future then this would be the accommodation of our choice.”

Mr Doyle, Preston, September 2014

“Boolavogue House is in a quiet location, ideally situated for visiting Dublin, Kilkenny, Waterford and Wexford. The owner was very welcoming and friendly, going to great lengths to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Boolavogue House was very clean and spacious, with five good-sized bedrooms and a large modern kitchen and lounge.”

Mr Hogg, Portsmouth, July 2014

“Have to say, have had the best weekend, the house was fantastic and set in a beautiful part of Wexford. The children, in particular, loved the farm, watching the cows being milked and roaming around in a safe area; the beach was only a few minutes away in the car. We will definetely be going back in the future.”

Mrs Hughes, Swords, March 2014

“Exceptional standard and the owner has to be the nicest person in Ireland.”

Mr Nikos, Bruton, June 2013

“I loved my time in Ireland. One of the reasons it was so wonderful was because of the owner of Boolavogue House. She is the most gracious hostess I have ever met. She continually went above and beyond all our expectations as a hostess. Her lively spirit and beautiful smile made every day special. She made sure we had everything we needed from food to rides to information. The property itself was lovely, clean and comfortable. I usually have trouble sleeping in strange beds, but the beds and the atmosphere at Boolavogue House were so relaxing and refreshing I slept extremely well. She arranged a viewing of the milking of the cows on the farm, and we got to watch newborn calves being fed. This was fun as well as educational for the boys. The area is centrally located so we were able to travel easily to both Dublin and Cork to do the things we wanted to do. If I ever have the good fortune to visit Ireland again, I will certainly stay at Boolavogue House again.”

About the location

FERNS, COUNTY WEXFORD

Enniscorthy 7.5 miles; Courtown 14 miles.

The small, historic town of Ferns in County Wexford lies 7.5 miles from Enniscorthy, the second largest town in the county, and is famous for its long religious past. Established in the 6th century, Ferns has had a profound influence on Irish history, and is home to numerous landmarks and historic and religious buildings, evidence of its illustrious past. Today, only half of Ferns Castle is still standing, however, its beauty remains evident as it stands tall in the heart of Ferns. Close by, the historic town of Enniscorthy, situated on the River Slaney, boasts lots for tourists to see and do including the ever-popular greyhound racing track, while the coastal resort of Courtown is only a short drive away. Take a stroll along Courtown Harbour and spend an afternoon on the beach, or alternatively, walk or cycle your way through Courtown Wood, and stop for a picnic by the beautiful Owenavarro River. Within a short drive is the lovely beach at Morriscastle, and a little further lies the Blue Flag sandy beach at Curracloe, great for families. With lots to see and do, Ferns is a fantastic base for touring the area.
